So finally, Alhamdulillah, my friend’s baby girl Sanaa has arrived. Sanaa = Brilliance/radiance in Arabic, and means Beauty or Work of Art in Swahili and long-lasting in Sanskrit.

She was due last week, and we’ve been anxiously awaiting her arrival. Apparently, she was awaiting the delivery of her car-seat first. Did you know that car-seats have “DO NOT USE AFTER” dates? So, if you’re passing along a car-seat, please check the label for the manufacturer’s AND do not use after dates. We found out last night that our last car seat ‘expired’ two years ago.

Ain’t the car-seat in the photo cute? And so ‘in’ the current animal print trend.
